TURN “SCREEN TIME” TO
“QUALITY FAMILY TIME” AT
SUNWAY LAGOON
While smartphones and tablets have greatly influenced our
lives in more ways that we can imagine, they also have a
downside. Children tend to spend significantly more time
spent indoors, particularly with these gadgets.
Many experts have iterated that ideally, kids should be playing
outside for three hours each day. However, the sobering
reality is that the average child today spends less than four
hours a week playing outdoors.
A research conducted at the University of Sydney in Australia
found that children and teens who were more active
outdoors scored higher with regard to social functioning,
whereas teens who spent more time being sedentary indoors
more often reported feeling lonely and shy.
Indeed, researchers and experts have all agreed on such
findings time and time again. Active play outdoors is good for
kids and teens. However, the hot and humid weather in
Malaysia can many times put a damper on “outdoor time”
and this summer is forecasted to be a hot one.
An awesome way to “beat the heat” for this season while
still finding ample time for outdoor play is to engage in
activities in which the whole family can participate, yet fun
(and cool!) enough to factor out circumstances such as the
weather. One great place where this can be achieved is
Malaysia’s very own Sunway Lagoon.
This summer season, Sunway Lagoon, encourages families to
bond together with a host of outdoor fun activities! Sunway
Lagoon offers a truly remarkable experience to remember for
the whole family (especially children!) with over with over 90
rides and attractions spread across six themed parks – Water
Park, Amusement Park, Extreme Park, Wildlife Park, Scream
Park and Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon.
Sunway Lagoon offers memorable experiences for everyone,
both young and old; from milder water rides to wild-and-crazy
thrillers, which older teens and even their parents can enjoy.
Watch your little ones forget about their gadgets as they cool
off at Little Zimbabwe and Splish
Splash for an interactive water
spray experience.
So put those gadgets away and
enjoy the “Best Day Ever” with
family and friends at Sunway
Lagoon! Attracting visitors from
around the globe for over 25
years, Sunway Lagoon has
gleaned a host of accolades and
awards in recent times, including
winning the Best Outdoor Edutainment and Best Family
Friendly Destination categories at the recent BabyTalk &
MamaPapa Readers’ Choice Awards 2019.
So, you know that when it comes to spending quality family
time outdoors, Sunway Lagoon is the place to be.
